Written question asked by Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Thursday, 11 August 2011.
Sudan
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have sought a discussion in the United Nations Security Council about infringements of Resolution 1591 (2005), prohibiting bombing raids on Darfur, and about reports that chemicals released as result of the bombing raids have made the soil unsafe to grow crops.
- Answer
-
The UN Security Council last discussed Darfur on 22 July. The situation in Darfur is discussed every 90 days, based around the Secretary-General's report on the implementation of the resolution on Darfur. The UK continues to condemn military action in Darfur and to call on all parties to work for an immediate ceasefire. We are not aware of reports of chemicals released as a result of the bombing raids affecting crop growth.
